Okay. So, the broiler element on our stove burned out this weekend. Fabulous light show. Looked like we had a friggin' arc welder in our oven.
Now, before someone says the answer to my question is "Buy a new broiler element," let me just say that my wife and I are in absolute agreement; we hate our stove. The oven, timer and broiler are controlled with a mid-eighties push button (silver buttons on black) interface and a little half inch knob like on a cheap stereo. The stove came with the house we bought a few years ago and is essentially that last appliance left that was "used by someone else." So we're looking to upgrade. We've been doing our research and we've found the cooktop type we want and we've zeroed in on brand as far as maintenance and whatnot, but we're a little confounded about the true advantage of the convection oven. Is it really worth ~$400 extra for a 15 minute break on that lasagna? or chocolate chip cookies that cook 25 degrees cooler but not any faster? I am enthusiastic that ovens are now accurate to within 5 degrees (instead of 25) and we both love to cook, but is a convection oven really all that? -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Stay Ahead of Hackers - Download ZoneAlarm Pro http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=65 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:147324 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
